After a decade of off-again, on-again availability of New Orleans Hornets' games for subscribers of Charter Communications, the team announced Wednesday that FOX Sports New Orleans' signal will be added for north shore subscribers, giving them guaranteed access to all 75 telecasts.

"One of our primary goals going into this season was to extend our reach with a new television agreement, and Fox Sports New Orleans has provided us with that opportunity," Hornets Owner Tom Benson said in a statement. "We are excited that fans in over 2.5 million homes across the Gulf South will be able to watch 75 regular-season Hornets games starting tonight with our season opener against the Spurs."
